11 Security considerations
Design goal of security for DAN is described in clause 9.4. Since DAN processes the requests and responses,
various security issues can be raised. For instance, processing the retrieved data object that contains
confidential information in its header may lead to privacy violation.
In addition, the in-network caching function of DAN may cause privacy and ownership issues. As mentioned
previously, DAN secures each data object based on the signature of its publisher rather than securing the
connection between two end points. Therefore, the distribution of public keys should be also considered
while planning and designing DAN.
